“Best Working Mum Blog 2011” WE won! WewonwewonweWON! #gurgles2011

      We had the route carefully planned – Salisbury to Waterloo, Northern Line, 4 stops to Tottenham court road, walk to the Soho Hotel. Except the Northern Line won’t be stopping at TCR till November. *sigh* So we had to change course to Oxford Circus, and walk down Oxford Street instead. My feet didn’t like me very much for that. We arrived, we found the room, were greeted royally by the very lovely...

Spotted! Just a beautiful bracelet from @seasparkle_x

I was just randomly hopping about t’interwebs, like you do, and look what i saw. My heart actually did a little skippety-flip. Leather cord with sea glass charms and a fine silver sea shell. I want it. Really badly a lot. Made by, and available from, the wonderful SeaSparkle for a mere thirty of your pounds.

But oh how I would have LOVED to have this in my bag to put on. Super pretty, promisingly comfortable AND really...

The Dodo Acad-Pad

Looking for a diary for the start of term? Look no further! In it’s own inimitable Dodo Style, the Acad-Pad is just… ace. Bags and bags of organisation at your fingertips – you’ll not miss a deadline again. Probably. No, seriously, I LOVE this pad. Every time I think “actually, it’d be really handy if it…” – it already does. Tear off corners so you can find where you are fast,...

Spotted! Cornishware mugs – in COLOURS!!!

Now, as any and every reader knows – we are sincere and devout adorers of traditional blue cornishware mugs (well – jugs, bowls, plates… anything cornish and blue-stripy, really). Then, a few short months ago, we saw the Cornish Red – and we swooned. But now look what they’ve gone and done… All SORTS of prettily coloured mugs. *happy sigh* The top set are (very poorly) named ‘For the...
